SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Users often don't know which of their recurring tasks are worth turning into reusable skills, leading to duplicated one-off projects or missed automation opportunities. This onboarding tutorial teaches the distinction between skills and projects and how skill triggering works. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Skill-Worthiness Framework: Applies a 3-criteria test (frequency, repeatability, value) to decide whether a workflow deserves a skill. - Structure & Triggering Education: Explains the SKILL.md folder structure and how keyword-based descriptions trigger skills automatically. - Anti-Pattern Detection: Flags repeated similar items (e.g., report-jan, report-feb) and suggests capturing them as a single reusable skill. - Use Case: A user who writes a weekly status report learns to recognize it as skill-worthy, brainstorms trigger phrases, and knows to say "create skill" to capture it permanently. ## Quick Start Say "learn skills" to start the 10-minute interactive tutorial on identifying and creating reusable workflow skills.

FAQPage Schema
How do I know if a workflow is worth turning into a skill?

Apply the 3-criteria framework: does it happen 2+ times per month, are the steps mostly the same each time, and does automation save more than 5 minutes per run. If all three are yes, create a skill; otherwise do it manually.

What is the difference between a skill and a project?

A skill is a reusable workflow you run repeatedly, like a weekly status report. A project is one-time temporal work with an end date, like launching a dashboard. The key question is whether you will do it again.

How does skill triggering work in Nexus?

The AI checks your message against every skill's description keywords. If your phrasing matches any listed trigger phrase, such as "status report" or "weekly update", the corresponding skill loads automatically.

What files does a skill folder contain?

A skill folder contains a SKILL.md file with instructions and trigger phrases, plus optional references, scripts, and assets subdirectories for documentation, automation, and templates.

When should I not create a skill?

Skip skill creation for one-time tasks like researching a competitor or building a quarterly plan. If any of the frequency, repeatability, or value criteria fail, doing the task manually is more efficient.
